Mr Redmond and the Volunteers

Added: 26 Feb 2015 Contributor: Scoilnet Resource type: Primary Source

Irish Times (free within the Schools Broadband Network) report on the speech given by John Redmond to Irish Volunteers in Co Laois in August 1914. In the speech Redmond talks about impending home rule, the need to give a welcome to Ulster unionists and the arming of the Irish Volunteers. The speech is considered to be historically very important.
